Fractional & Co-Ownership Disputes
Fractional ownership with an uncooperative co-owner.
You inherited it with three siblings and one of them will not answer the phone. Or a former business partner controls half. Or a co-owner has moved out of state and cannot be located. The property sits, and every month costs money.
This is a recognized category with two workable exits: acquire the missing party's cooperation, or acquire their interest directly. We are usually the counterparty for the second.
Can I sell my undivided interest in a property?
Yes. Each co-tenant owns a distinct, alienable fractional share and can convey that share independently of the others. Our firm acquires undivided interests routinely — a single heir out of five, a former spouse's community half, a business partner's stake — and consolidates ownership over time. You are paid at closing for your share; the balance of the property is our responsibility to resolve.
What about partition? Isn't that the standard remedy?
Partition — a court action forcing division or sale of co-owned property — is a legitimate remedy, but it is the expensive one. It routinely takes twelve to twenty-four months, requires counsel on all sides, and typically ends in a court-ordered sale at a discount. In most files where partition would be the alternative, direct sale of your interest to our firm delivers a comparable or superior net result, in weeks rather than years.
What if a co-owner cannot be found?
Missing co-owners are common in older inherited properties. Depending on the facts, remedies include diligent search followed by service by publication, a partition action naming the missing party, or acquisition of the interests we can identify with a plan to address the remaining share later. We evaluate this at the Assessment on a file-by-file basis.
